proclaim-cx-2029: a trial to find safe and active doses of an investigational drug cx-2029 for patients with solid tumors or dlbcl

Conditions: Solid Tumor, Adult; Head and Neck Cancer; Non Small Cell Lung Cancer; Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma; Esophageal Cancer

Summary: the purpose of this first-in-human study of cx-2029 is to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (pk), pharmacodynamics (pd) and antitumor activity of cx-2029 in adult subjects with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable solid tumors or diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlbcl). the antitumor activity of cx-2029 will be evaluated in subjects with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (hnscc), dlbcl, non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) (squamous cell histology only), or esophageal (esophageal adenocarcinoma \[eac\], esophageal squamous cell carcinoma \[escc\], or gastroesophageal \[ge\] junction) cancer. proclaim: probody clinical assessment in man cx-2029 clinical trial 001 probody is a trademark of cytomx therapeutics, inc

this is an open-label, phase 1-2, first-in-human study for cx-2029 in subjects with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable solid tumors or diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlbcl) without approved life-prolonging treatment options for their malignancy. the study is divided into 3 parts (arms), as follows: * part a: dose escalation and determination of the maximum tolerated dose (mtd) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (rp2d) * part b: characterization of cx-2029 in the tumor microenvironment (tme) in subjects with select tumor types using previously cleared dose levels from part a * part c: expansions in select tumor types at the mtd/rp2d as established in part a
